    There are two things you HAVE TO DO when visiting the Cyclades, you have to stay in Paros and when in Paros you have to visit Lefkes. Rent a buggy and drive up the Paros’ mountains, toward the centre of the island. The first sight of Lefkes, from the road, could feature in Game of…

    Santorini is a pretty big island and even though you can walk to Fira and hike to Oia from most hotels on the Caldera side, you will need to rent transportation to explore the rest of the island. Which is just what we did! On a morning we rented a quad (you can easily rent…

    The second island we visited during our island hopping trip in Greece was Paros. This was our favourite island! Of course Mykonos and Santorini are beautiful and a lot of fun, but Paros is a true hidden gem. Less tourists, amazing sights, delicious food AND amazing value for money! We stayed at the Saint Andrea…

    After visiting Fira, on our first day on Santorini, our second day was dedicated to Oia. We hiked there from our hotel and arrived in Oia at mid-day, sweaty and hungry. Our first stop was at Melitini for lunch. It is just off the main road and a brilliant place for greek tapas size dishes.…

    There are only a few towns on Santorini, Fira and Oia are the two main ones. Fira being only a 20-minute-walk from our hotel, we went and spent the afternoon there on our first day in Santorini. From Imerovigli, we headed south along the narrow paths, spying on the terraces along the way and taking…

    Summer is upon us meaning travel season is here! Get excited for the lists of lists of things to pack, overweight luggage, crowded airports and long-haul flights. To make your life a little easier I listed below the skincare I am taking with me on flights. It’s all under 100ml and fits in a ziplock…

    There is nothing like a nice glass of wine on a terrace, on a summer night, people watching. You know what’s even better though? Several glasses of wine, on a summer night, sunset watching in Santorini. On a late afternoon we headed to Santo Wines in the middle part of the island, just a little…

    There are many ways to get around Santorini – taxis, buses, vespas, boats – but to access some of the most scenic views, walking is sometime the only way. After days overindulging on Greek food, we thought it would be a good idea to walk from Grace Hotel to Oia. A good idea it certainly…
